The invention discloses a linear switching constant-current LED drive circuit for control over peak current, and relates to the field of power source drive circuits. Compared with an existing linear constant-current LED drive circuit, and according to the linear switching constant-current LED drive circuit for control over the peak current, an integrating capacitor is connected to a loop of a drive chip in parallel, and average current passing through an LED lamp bead can be kept to be constant through the integrating constant-current mode; in addition, due to the fact that a loop formed by an operational amplifier, a switching selector and a high-voltage power MOS is added to the loop of the drive chip to limit the peak current passing through the LED bead, useless power consumption of a system can be reduced, working efficiency of the system can be improved, heat produced in the working process of the drive chip is reduced, the required rated current of the LED bead can be effectively reduced, the luminous efficiency of the LED bead is improved, the luminous decay of the LED bead slows down, the service life of the LED bead is prolonged, and cost of the system is reduced.
